About this event

One of the most useful practices any startup owner or entrepreneur can adopt is to attend as many relevant networking events as possible. The value you can get from Startup Grind events is enormous. Communicating with like-minded, motivated and active people can take your game to another level.

One big reason to attend: Sharing knowledge as an entrepreneur is key - regardless of what stage you are at in your journey.
